STALLED IN THE sNOwDRIFrs.

Hundreds of People Blocked 1n on
 the Trains I'm New Brunswfck.
 ST. JOHN, N. B., April IA dispatch from Moncton to-day contains news of the stalled trains on the northern division of the Inter-Colonial railway. A break has been made from St. Flavien to Cambellton and two blocked trains between those points are working their way out through a tunnel of snow. Fully fifteen hundred passengers, in- cluding seven hundred immigrants, are halted on their route and the railway author ities are straining every nerve to get good to the passengers and the fifteen hundred men trying to dig them out. One train is at Rivier du Loupe and another at St. Flavien, Sir Charles and Lady Tuper being passengers on the latter. All the northern mails since last Thursday from Prince Edward Island, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia are at St. Flavien and seven mail clerks are guarding them Fully one-half the conductors, bag gagemasters and express managers that run on the line are hemmed in at this point. A dispatch from New Castle says the Quebec night train, the first that has passed the New Brunswick borders since Friday last, has worked it's way through. It has seven cars all laden with people who have been delayed by the storm of the week, exhausted and worn by their long sojourn amid snow drifts and frost They are freed at last only by the superhuman efforts of fifteen hundred msn who have worked night and day. On Tues day the shovellers were so exhausted that P. s. Archibald, chief engineer, started with special train and all the men he could collect for the scene. He arrived at Campbellton, pushed his way through to St. Flavien and last night about o'clock broke the block ade. People have no idea what amount of snow there is on the New Brunswick bor- ders. In order to clear the track of snow five terraces were made from the rail to the summit of the bank and each line of men threw to the terrace above and in many places snowdrifts are
 thirty feet in depth, During the weeks so- journ passengers endured great hardships, although the railway authorities did all they could to make them comfortable. It was fortunate for tie women and children that so many sleepers were showed in with them and no scruples were observed in taking coal faom cars on the sides to supply them with fuel. The main line has been opened and canal cut through the snow at enor nous labor and expense and yet the work is but half done. Every branch is blocked, every on the siding showed under and it will take more than a week to get the road in any kind of running order.

Utterly Discouraged

expresses the feeling of many victims of rheumatism, neuralgia, sciati-a and nervous or sick headache. Having tried numberless so-called remedies and physicians of all schools, without relief, there seems to be no hope. Many such have last resort tried Athlophoros; and to their surprise and joy have found that it safe, sure and quick cure. Athlophoros is not experiment. ; thousands have been cured by it's use and they testify as to its value.
 WATERBURY, Conn, Oct. Il, 1885.
 I would have Athlophoros if had to pay ten dollars dose for it. It has done what our best physicians, after fourteen years of intense suffering. could not do during that time. I took every known medicine for neuralgia of the stomach, but found no re- lief at all until took Athlophoros. The eff feet was magical. All pain disappeared, and my health was so much improved to cause general comment. I cannot speak too highly of the merits of Athlophoros.

For three months I was confined to tt

For three months was confined to the house with infammatory rheumatism. So severe was my affiiction the doctors prescrib- ed for me forty grains of morphine day, besides steaming me for five hours each day, and many other doses. Notwithstanding I had three physicians, their combined skill did not give any relief, so, finally be- coming discouraged, I determined to let the disease do it's work, had pair Of crutches made, and nervously waited for the worst to come. when friend came to see me and ad- vised me to try Athlophoros. I took the first dose at six in the evening and two more doses during the night. The next morning, after three months sickness, went to work, greatly to the astonishment of my many friends, who all thought I would never get around again. I am letter carrier and widely known here, and Athlophoros cured me, and it will cure anybody suffering with rheumatism. w. B. GooDALE, Hartford, Conn. Every druggist should keep Athlophoros

An Enjoyable Social Time In West
 YIIla.

An enjoyable event in Westville last night, in the form of surprise party, was given Miss Lillie Wolven by about seventeen couples of her New Haven and Westville friends in honor of her eighteenth birthday. Dancing and music were the principal amusements of the evening, the company be- ing favored with an old-time jig by the grandmother of the young lady, whose grace and poetry of motion were declared by all to rival those of her youthful companions. Upon bountifully spread table, from which the company freely partook at 1s p. m., stood 8 handsomely decorated birthday cake. After supper MT. Augustus Smith, of New Haven, favored the company with few choice selections of vocal minstrelsy, accom- panying himself on the piano, in both of which accomplishments his friends consider him master hand. Miss Wolven was the recipient of several presents, among which was handsome plush album.
